In Anthony Burgess’s influential nightmare of the future, the criminals take over after dark. Teen gang leader Alex narrates in fantastically inventive slang that echoes the violent intensity of youth rebelling against society.Electrifying and raw, A Clockwork Orange is “a savage satire on the distortions of the single and collective minds” (New York Times). This edition includes the controversial last chapter not published in the 1962 American version, as well as the author’s introduction, “A Clockwork Orange Resucked.”“Looks like a nasty little shocker, but is really that rare thing in English letters: a philosophical novel.”— Time“Terrifying and marvelous.”— Roald Dahl“A very funny book.”—William S. Burroughs
